Ask HN: Did I make a mistake jumping on the homestead bandwagon?
by sigmaprimus on Hacker News.
I made the jump from the “big city” with a good tech job to the homestead a few years ago and have found as much as YouTube and Amazon have provided an incredible amount of information and resources, I find myself questioning my decision. I am beginning to feel that regardless of modern innovations when push comes to shove…the truth is homesteading requires an almost soul crushing amount of hard work and fortitude for very small gains. I can’t help feel frustrated when I watch my friends in the city enjoy all of the comforts it offers and seemingly pull away from me both financially and socially. So I am looking for either some hard truths or encouragement regarding this matter. Please be honest and refrain from judging those who are! I am a big boy and can handle the truth. Thank You
